About This Game

Don’t miss the single-player campaign from the game that IGN awarded Best Xbox One Game of 2014, the game that Polygon rated 9 out of 10, and the game that Eurogamer calls “a breath of fresh air.” In Sunset Overdrive, the year is 2027 and Sunset City is under siege. A contaminated energy drink has transformed most of the population into toxic mutants. For many it's the end of the world, but for you it’s a dream come true. Your old boss? Dead. Your boring job? Gone. Transform the open-world into your tactical playground by grinding, vaulting and wall-running across the city while using a devastating, unconventional arsenal. With hyper-agility, unique weapons, and customizable special abilities, Sunset Overdrive rewrites the rules of traditional shooters and delivers an explosive, irreverent, stylish, and totally unique adventure.

Embrace the chaos of Sunset City through a hyper-colorful, post-apocalyptic single-player campaign and two bonus expansions, Mystery of Mooil Rig and Dawn of the Rise of the Fallen Machines. Outgun crazed mutants, homicidal robots, and villainous thugs on your journeys with the included Weapons Pack.

Features:
- An Open World with No Rules - Leap off buildings, run along walls, and grind power lines and rails to destroy your foes from every angle.
- Over-the-top Weapons - Collect and upgrade an arsenal of unconventional weapons that use items like dynamite, fireworks, harpoons, and acid to destroy your enemies.

Pure Chaotic Fun Sunset Overdrive is one of those rare games that manages to take pure chaos and turn it into a work of art. From the second you load in, the game throws you into a world that doesn’t take itself too seriously, and that’s exactly what makes it such a blast to play. The movement system is the real star here. Grinding along rails, bouncing across rooftops, and chaining together wall-runs and flips feels buttery smooth. Once you get into the flow, traversal is so fluid and stylish that just moving around the city is as fun as the missions themselves. The game rewards creativity—why run and gun when you can zip-line above a horde of mutants and blast them with an exploding teddy bear launcher? The weapons are classic Insomniac: over-the-top, hilarious, and surprisingly deep in how they can be used together. Every firefight is a playground where you’re encouraged to experiment, and the more ridiculous your tactics, the better it feels. Visually, the game ...

Sunset Overdrive is pure, chaotic fun — a colorful explosion of movement, absurd humor, and over-the-top action. + Incredibly fluid traversal — grinding, bouncing, wall-running, and air-dashing all blend seamlessly. + Wild arsenal of creative weapons (TNTeddy, Roman Candle, Flaming Compensator) keeps combat fresh. + Bright, stylized visuals and tongue-in-cheek tone make it stand out. + Doesn’t take itself seriously — fourth-wall breaks, ridiculous characters, and constant gags. + Mission variety is high, with a mix of defense, exploration, and absurd challenges. - Story is thin and mostly a backdrop for the humor. - Combat can feel repetitive if you ignore movement combos. - PC port lacks some polish (occasional bugs and optimization issues). Verdict: A vibrant, fast-paced playground that rewards creativity and style. If you like your open worlds loud, weird, and full of explosions, this is your kind of game.

I have never been able to play this game without constant crashing and save corruption. What I was able to play was fun but I have no clue what core problem would cause this issue.

This game has always been unique, held a special place with me after picking it up randomly at like 13 on the xbox one from CEX, I can say it's one of my favourite games of all time and always will be hence why I got it on PC 6 years later with the firm opinion you should try it. First with the flaws which are unfortunately possibly game changing for some, the PC port compared to xbox has a bug where one of the save files are always corrupted there are guides to fix this issue but make sure to use the non corruptible or corrupted save slots or you could lose everything and I wish Xbox game studios fix this but they unfortunately never will. With the flaws out the way this games intro is very neat being a decent tutorial for the movement and combat but one thing it doesn't necessarily explicitly tell you till the later tutorial that doing different tricks, moving around a lot with said movement tricks build up your combo meter which makes you stronger in combat, you can pick these bon...

Insomniacs underrated venture to Xbox game studios which will probably never get a followup now due to being acquired by Sony and finding outstanding success with Spiderman. It was an absolute blast when I played it, short, sweet and doesn't overstay its welcome.
